Abstract

Abstract Hotel staff have been observed to be involved in workload for long hours with few break times, unpredictable shifting and lifting of heavy loads manually. Although these practices have the potential to reduce health and fitness status of staff thereby compromised productivity in hospitality industry and national development, it has, however, not been established whether the job-related activity patterns of the staff of star-rated hotels have implications on their health status and absenteeism factors. In total, 70 staff (48.6% male, 51.4% female, mean age = 24.63 ± 12.06) of star-rated hotels in Kumasi were sampled. International physical activity (IPAQ), health status (HSQ-12) and Koen–Müller’s employee absenteeism questionnaires were administered. About 77.0% spent averagely two hours/day and four days/week on vigorous job-related physical activities (PAs), 90.0% spent averagely four hours/day and five days/week on moderate job-related physical activities (heavy lifting, digging, heavy construction work, climbing upstairs) and spent averagely 1.8 hours/day walking during weekly activity. Job-related activities of the participants correlate significantly with daily vigorous PA (F = 5.625, P-value = 0.000). Participants’ self-reported results showed that vigorous- and moderate-job related activities amounted to good health status. Sleep deprivation, inad-equate rest days, short time with close-knit family predis-posed participants to absenteeism. The significant relationship between health status and absenteeism factors showed 87.2% variability. Participants strongly disagreed to being absent from work due to transport. Job-related activities of star-rated hotels staff are identical with vigorous daily PA, which could be harmful to health. Provision of functional and accessible health-care resources for staffers of star-rated hotels would attenuate unproductive absenteeism.

星级酒店员工工作活动模式、健康状况及缺勤相关因素
酒店员工被观察到长时间工作,很少休息时间,不可预测的转移和手动举起重物。虽然这些做法有可能降低工作人员的健康和健身状况,从而损害酒店业的生产力和国家发展,但是,尚未确定星级酒店工作人员与工作有关的活动模式是否对他们的健康状况和缺勤因素有影响。共抽样库马西星级酒店工作人员70人,其中男性48.6%,女性51.4%,平均年龄24.63±12.06岁。采用国际体力活动量表(IPAQ)、健康状况量表(HSQ-12)和koen - m ller员工旷工问卷。约77.0%的人平均每天花2小时及每周4天从事与工作有关的剧烈体力活动,90.0%的人平均每天花4小时及每周5天从事与工作有关的中度体力活动(举重、挖掘、重型建筑工作、爬楼上),以及在每周活动期间平均每天花1.8小时散步。被试的工作相关活动与每日剧烈PA显著相关(F = 5.625, p值= 0.000)。参与者自我报告的结果显示,与工作相关的剧烈和适度的活动相当于良好的健康状况。睡眠不足,休息日不足,与亲密家庭在一起的时间短,使参与者容易缺勤。健康状况与缺勤因素之间存在显著的相关关系,变异率为87.2%。参加者强烈反对因交通问题而旷工。星级酒店员工的工作活动与日常剧烈的PA相同,可能对健康有害。为星级酒店的工作人员提供功能性和可获得的保健资源将减少非生产性缺勤。
